Target: Taken Blight Race: Taken Special: Summoning Though you will not find the Blight in the Grimoire, Blight can cause headache in any fight. Blight is found everywhere from events, patrols, Strikes, and raids. Ok maybe besides Crucibles, for now. What is Blight you ask? Blight, as I'm calling it, is the Black Sphere that spawns during Taken fights. Still confused, think of levels like Taken Coven on Earth, or the Strike "Dark Blade". The large orbs of darkness summon in teams of monsters, Taken only. Here are your warnings, if you do not bring these down quickly or destroy the team it summons without destroying the sphere, then it continues to summon teams of Taken. Luckily most are programmed to summon set teams. I say quickly for this reason, really only this reason. If in a Strike or Raid and team members are clearing out mobs, these spheres will continue to summon them in. You must be quick to address this issue. A typical priority should be Blight, Taken team per that Blight, then back to prime target (if any). How to handle: Blights do range in Hit Points based off of Light Difficulty. The higher the Light required to play a quest, strike, or raid, the stronger these Blight Spheres become. Rapid fire weapons help and strong impact weapons do well. I also suggest to use grenades that do Damage over Time, example is Solar, Vortex, or Thermite Grenades. Make sure to get the grenade on the blight or under it, then add in heavy hits from weapons or rapid fire and the Blights go away quickly. Since they spawn fresh troops, make them a priority. It doesn't matter if it is an event or boss fight. Once the Blights are summoned in, take them down and worry about their troops last. This way you only have to fight these guys once and not more than twice. Be mindful, some higher end quests and mechanics in fights will re-summon Blight. Just make sure to handle them quickly. Notes: For clans I will say Blights are good for training people in your groups that are responsible for CC. I suggest the Quest "Fears Embrace" (requires 260 Light on Normal) located on Phobos as a good area to train those how to handle a Boss fight with heavy CC. The quest also builds good situational awareness. Again no Grimoire information.
